This is Money Laundering scam. The process of taking the proceeds of criminal activity and making them appear legal.

The crooks want to transfer stolen funds into your account, which are then transferred by you to another account where the funds are then withdrawn.

That is how it is a scam. You will be the one that will be banged up, not the crooks.

It's an absolutely classical homeworker scam - imagine any company offering a job 'receiving money' in the real world. The 'employee' receives payments into their bank account which they then have to withdraw and transfer by (untraceable) wire transfer. It all seems fine until the fake cheques/transfers are reversed, your account is cleaned out and the police have you on a money mule/laundering accusation. See scamwarners.com for more details

Ah, only see the transferring bit. So they pay the money to you to make it clean. Ok if your clean to begin with.

Are you really admitting that you have been money laundering through your personal bank account for a number of years and that you gain satisfaction from it?:eek:

To reiterate what paddyg said, see http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=79554&p=184693 for confirmation it is a scam.

The are no funds - other than your own money that you send to the scammer and never see again. The cheques they send you to pay into your bank account are stolen/counterfeit. The money appears in your bank account after a couple of days, so you think it's ok to send the money to the scammer via WU or some other money transfer scheme. However, a few days or even weeks later the money is deducted from your account when the bank discovers the cheque is stolen/fake.
